What the job involves
- We're seeking a Solutions Engineer to drive revenue growth by guiding strategic customers through complex technical integrations
- You'll be instrumental in moving Anrok upmarket, working at the intersection of sales, product, and engineering to close deals and ensure successful implementations
- You'll become the technical expert customers rely on by mastering our API capabilities, understanding complete quote-to-cash workflows, and developing deep expertise in sales tax compliance and third-party billing integrations (Stripe, NetSuite, and more)
- Working closely with Sales, Activation, and Product/Engineering teams, you'll bridge the gap between technical possibility and business outcomes
- You'll help drive continued rapid growth and establish Anrok as the definitive solution for software sales tax automation
- Play an integral role in the standardized Anrok sales process, helping achieve key milestones and exit criteria to effectively move customers through their evaluation process while working closely with Account Executives on deal strategy

- Act as a trusted advisor on sales tax compliance, Anrok's platform, and API integration best practices for prospects, customers, and partners
- Work closely with our Onboarding teams to provide effective and efficient technical support through implementation
- Serve as the voice of the customer by gathering technical feedback and requirements from prospects and customers, then partnering with Product and Engineering to influence roadmap decisions and drive product improvements
- Break down complex technical challenges and concepts for internal and external teams, to foster shared understanding and a clear path toward resolution
- Design workflows to effectively prioritize and manage live calls, email responses, documentation of implementation paths and decisions, and other strategic projects
- Help surface and implement new ideas, such as improving our technical documentation or designing new demo functionality for our third party integrations
Our take
Software is becoming an increasingly taxable enterprise, in increasingly nuanced and jurisdiction-specific ways thanks to new rulings in the late 2010s. SaaS companies need to keep track of both their physical and economic nexuses, leaving many companies scrambling to stay compliant. Anrok has developed a simple API-based solution to help companies get there.
Anrok's no-code, out-of-the-box tool helps businesses easily calculate sales tax monitoring, calculation, and remittance wherever their product is used, and easily identify new exposures. It’s a simple solution to a complex problem, and the result for Anrok has been impressive funding and strong growth in the short few years it’s been in operation.
This will in part be thanks to the company’s astute pricing model: much like SaaS businesses themselves, it’s based on demand. This makes it scaleable enough to encompass both smaller and enterprise SaaS clients. This, in turn, means Anrok’s addressable market within the SaaS sector is substantial. And that’s a sector that in itself is continuing to see remarkable growth. All this makes it a promising, and as of yet fairly unchallenged, position that Anrok is carving out.
